I know it's a dramatic title. But it is true for us. It didn't go smoothly from the start. I used the Medela hospital grade pump, rented and expensive, but soon realised as the baby was getting bigger, I cannot be attached to the wall. Moved to Medela hands free, but that still had tubes sticking and I could not carry my baby while pumping. We're blessed that we live in a world where now it is easy to get a wearable pump and have your life resemble normalcy :-)I didn't get the hand of Perifit at the beginning and the body needs to get used to switching between pumps. I sent them an email, unsure if I should just give it back in the 30-day trial. They immediately sent me other sizes of flange for free, and that helped immediately, but still not to the preferred amount,as I was at that time pumping exclusively and needed my supply to be stable. A woman from Perfit scheduled a Zoom call with me and helped me with advice and adjustments, we tried several things and over the next weeks, the pump delivered. After 2 months my supply was up to the amount I was able to quit pumping and my baby was back on the boob! But even more importanly, I went back to work after a year and used it to pump at work, during meetings, lunch,ai didn't need a separate room or to hide. There is a little sound that peo migh ask about in the first time if the room is silent but it is really not that noticeable. I became proud momma pumping at work,and not some ashamed employee hiding in a bathroom or rest room alone. I pumped at work for about 5 months. My son is now 2, I don't pump anymore, we breastfeed only to sleep and I am happy with my breastfeeding journey. Thanks Perifit, for being part of it.
